Domestic and International Tourism Marketing Campaigns and Services for the Business and Tourism Programme - AWARD

Notice Description

Marketing campaigns on this project will aim to attract domestic overnight / city break / short break leisure visitors pre, during and post the Games using a mixed media approach (online and offline) to target the relevant audiences at different stages in their awareness, consideration and booking journeys. While this programme is closely aligned to the Commonwealth Games, this project focuses specifically on tourism promotion. Note these campaigns are intended to complement and enhance the Games-focused marketing campaigns. Furthermore, at the heart of the Games will be a cultural programme, a world-class arts festival running March to September 2022, surrounding the sports programme. The power of art and culture to bring people together, celebrate our identities and find common ground will be central to the Games. For this a six-month programme of new work, installations, exhibitions, performances and major events will showcase the artists, creatives and cultural organisations of Birmingham, the West Midlands and the Commonwealth, on a global stage. The cultural programme will be developed and delivered by the Organising Committee of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
